Pre-Order Problems

Post » Mon May 16, 2011 11:28 pm

Alright, so as the day draws ever closer to the days i have booked off to play this i have a nagging problem that i cant seem to get around and i need help... i have 3 of the 4 preorder bonus copies waiting to ship but no Walmart within 100 miles of where i live does preorders and the canadian walmart webpage does not do preorders either this leaves the american walmart webpage which only ships to the US...

my dilema is i have very little to no interest in missing out on the copy from them and i was wondering if anyone else was having the same problems and couldnt get walmart to cooperate and set up a preorder on it im also open to any help or suggestions on how to fix this problem so please if anyone has any ideas im all ears.

I have a bigger problem... NZ STILL DOESN'T EVEN HAVE PSYCHO OR SPEC OPS PRE-ORDERS YET.

Hell, pretty sure the websites they SHOULD be available from still just say "TBA 2011" for release date...

Probably a silly question and I apologies in advance if it has been asked elsewhere, is it possible to purchase all 4 pre order packs, assign all of the codes to one Xbox Live account and access all of the limited edition pre order items?

[...] and the canadian walmart webpage does not do preorders either

Uh, seriously? Wow, I hadn't even realised WalMart hadn't jumped into the whole online shopping deal! Sorry, can't really help there (although there ARE WalMarts around, I have a very strict policy to never, ever step inside one of their store - not even to just bug 'em to death and waste their time), although I do feel the pain because Amazon.ca is not offering Amazon's preorder bonus...

(Although I decided to preorder at my local EBGames as well as Amazon.ca, and try to turn in the still wrapped copy that I receive from Amazon back to EB - the fact that they ripped me off recently has nothing to do with that idea..! I'll have the game on time and the preorder bonus I want (maybe an extra Doom pack too?) :whistling: )

yes, as far as i've heard the dlc is on a card inside the package so you could easily get all the dlc if you get all the pre orders, i have 3 of them already on order i just need the walmart / steam one... Steam is only selling the PC version of it which does not help my xbox at all sadly :(

i think im going to have to get a po box in the states and have it forwarded to me in canada if im gonna get this. :((

i have a similar question. me and a friend of mine are going to have different preorder bonuses for ps3. i was wondering if we would be able to share them, like you can share most dlc. and also, if i were able to find willing participants who got the other 2 preorder packs, would we all be able to redeem out codes on the same dummy account and then all be able to use it?

Pretty much my thoughts too. I'm going to lol hard if they're available later on for cheap (or as unlocks), and this dude paid 4x the retail price for them.

Perhaps he is giving the other copies away to friends, family or colleagues who don't want the downloadable content? Perhaps he struck up a deal with friends or family who aren't fussed about the pre order freebies and agreed to give him theres? Either way more copies sold means more support for the developers, publishers and ultimately the community (in one form or another) either way this is win win in my opinion.

Unless they change their minds. Note I'm not saying anything against him, his money, his call. Just saying it wouldn't be the first time especially if those items are actually more useful than unlockable items.

some dude was posting about a uk based retailer that was giving 2 different preorder packs per game orders, so you get 2 of them for 1 copy

Both Game and Gamestation in the UK are doing this, they are both owned by the same people which may account for it (Game bought out Gamestation a couple of years back) so luckily I'm only buying three copies ;) One for myself, one for my partner and one for a family member, both of which are happy to give me there pre-order items... namely because I'm silly enough to pay for them all.

ok yes im getting a little spend happy with my money but as Appyo mentioned they are not all gonna sit on my shelf. i happen to have 4 friends who i game with very regularily they will recieve the games minus the dlc and i will purchase one off a shelf on release day to play on the days ive taken off to play this.

as for the reason i started this thread the walmart.ca site does say the game will be released with the content so i think their gonna get all the preorder disks and just put them on the shelf for normal sale which is good for me assuming i can beat the line...

anyway thanks again Appyo :)

Got both the Spec Ops and Psycho Packs pre-ordered for PC. I figure I can surprise my good friend with a free game, as long as he lets me keep the unlock code for the Caesar.

I love revolvers. Have I mentioned that?

I'm still wondering who's going to be selling what Pre-order bonuses in NZ.

All I can confirm so far is that the EBGames "Steelbook Edition" has the Doom Pack with it.

EDIT: Just found Mighty Ape's pre-order will be the Fallout Pack.
